What to Use on Skin After Fillers?
After getting fillers, it’s essential to follow a specific care routine to minimize swelling and bruising. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Cool Your Skin: First, apply a wet washcloth that has been in the freezer for at least 5 minutes to your face to cool the skin temperature.
Apply a Cold Serum: Use a serum from our After Filler Care collection. Keep the serum in the refrigerator so it is cool when you apply it. Apply this cold serum to your face.
Repeat Cooling Every 15 Minutes: Every 15 minutes, you can use the frozen washcloth to cool the skin temperature again.
Reapply Serum: Reapply the cold serum every hour for 2 hours.
Stop After 3 Hours: You can stop applying the frozen washcloth and serums after 3 hours.
How to Prevent Bruises After Fillers
To prevent bruising after filler injections, follow these tips:
Stay Calm and Relaxed: When you get home after filler injections, the most important thing to do is remain calm and relaxed to keep your blood pressure low.
Avoid Heat, Exercise, and Alcohol: Avoid heat, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for 24 hours to help prevent bruising. Avoid Hot Drinks: If you had lip fillers, avoid hot drinks for the same period
How to Treat Bruises After Fillers
One highly recommended option to treat filler bruises is Alastin Inhance Post-Injection Serum. This serum has been shown to get rid of bruises faster by aiding the body's natural healing processes. It contains ingredients that help macrophages, a type of immune cell, ingest any extravasated blood cells. This process speeds up the removal of hemosiderin, the purple pigment left behind by broken-down blood cells, from your skin, helping bruises clear faster.
To use Alastin Inhance Post-Injection Serum, start applying the serum immediately after your filler procedure. Gently massage a small amount of serum into the bruised area. Use the serum 2-4 times daily.
Using Antioxidants and Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients on Skin After Fillers?
Using antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients on your skin after fillers can significantly enhance healing and reduce side effects. These ingredients soothe inflammation, speeding up the recovery process and minimizing discomfort. Controlling inflammation is crucial to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), which can cause dark spots and uneven skin tone. By reducing inflammation, you lower the risk of developing PIH and promote a healthier complexion.
Antioxidants also protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can damage skin cells and prolong healing. By neutralizing these free radicals, antioxidants help maintain overall skin health and appearance. In summary, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients accelerate healing, soothe inflammation, and prevent PIH, ensuring a smoother recovery after filler injections.
